Welcome to the 2009 Clan League! We have seen a number of great clan challenges over the last few years including a few clan tournaments here and it’s time to attempt the next step in the evolution of clans on this site. The following league involves 15 established clans from the site. The league will run from Jan 17th to June 27th, 2009.

There are 3 divisions of 5 clans, randomly placed sorting on RAND() in Excel 10 times.

1. Each clan will play their division mates 10 games home & away for 80 total games (10 games + 10 games)*4 clans 2. Each clan will also play the clans in the other divisions 10 games (either home or away) for 100 total games (10 clans * 10 games). This means each clan will face all other clans.3. Each team has 18 play weeks, 2 personal bye weeks, and 4 full league bye weeks4. No team is a home team more than 2 weeks in a row (to minimize game creation pressure), however, your clan may be on the road for 3 weeks in a row.5. The general sequence of the schedule is Divisional games alternating with cross-over games. There will be 1 cross over game within a Divisional games week. The league start and ends with divisional match-ups.6. Since there are only 4 legitimate 20 game series per clan (Divisional opponents), only these will count towards the ladder.7. Scoreboard will show full league only.8. The date of the Week is when games should be delivered to the opponents by. Home team is responsible for making the games and posting the 10 game numbers on the public thread and sent via pm to the primary clan contact of the opposing clan.

Limitations are as follows:

Challenge SettingsA. Doubles only (10 games created by the home team)B. No Freestyle, No SpeedC. No duplicate maps in your 10 game set, maps are not fixed, you can change for every 10 game home set you have to createD. Does not have to be fixed teams (although knowing in advance your home teams will help you stay on track) Players can play in more than 1 home game and more than 1 away game.E. No beta maps, season is long enough that most betas should be available later on.

9. In the event of a clan's inability to complete the season, a substitute clan will be used, but will not be a replacement. I have 1 lined up, and another 2 in mind and will alternate where appropriate.

Just over 12 hours to put together. Now I know why the NHL has to use a computer program. Although, I don't have to worry about other events like the Circus at MSG . I'm going to check the schedule one last time before the season starts just to make sure.

Thanks for organising this. I'll be the liaison officer for LoW, any correspondence that needs to be done with LoW should be done through me, as I have ownership of the clan threads, and am managing our side of things. Please list me as the primary contact - reptile should be the secondary for now, but that will be changing to waseemalim later in 2009 due to rl commitments.

Yes yes yes, many thanks to JP for putting this together.... Although I see our first battle will be with the immortal assassins...... Gee... good thing we have no fear......lmao......Much Respect to them from Mythology........

The decision to go all doubles was based on a number of factors including (but not limited to):

1. The size of clans. Some of the smaller elite clans will be extended as it is with doubles, throwing other game types in on top of that means more game spots would have to be filled. Adding more game types can be achieved by having less total games overall which is possible if we move to promotion/demotion style next season. We could also achieve all game types if we made 2 leagues of small and large clans, but then you wouldn't get to face some of the elite clans which is not ideal.

2. A clan league has not yet been completed in the history of CC. See Teams Double League. Realistically this will be the first completed league for clans and it will take quite a bit of effort on everyone's part to make this successful. The league will have 1350 games over 6 months so this no small feat in itself.

Please pm me if you have ideas or suggestions going forward. The ideas can also be discussed within your clan and brought by one of your 2 leaders to the CLA forum as well.
